S.A. teachers take on space camp

Three San Antonio teachers have gone on a little field trip to Space Camp in Huntville, Ala., this week.

Kathy Hassenger and Sonia Gonzalez of Kelly Elementary (San Antonio ISD) and Tracy L. Thomas from Krueger Middle School (North East ISD) are among the 75 teachers from 11 countries selected by Boeing Co. and the U.S. Space & Rocket Center to learn what it’s like to be in space.

They’re taking part in simulated space missions, astronaut training, and presentations by rocketry and space exploration experts. Sounds like a real tough “workshop.”
